Chapter 14: The Beginning of the Year
On the first day of the first month of 97, the Xu family, as in previous years, Xu Youzhi, as a parent, took Xu Bingyuan's family to set up an altar in the living room of his house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In addition to the necessary sacrifices on the altar every year, there is also a huge squid, which is the favorite food of Grandpa Xu Canhao during his lifetime. Xu Youzhi knelt in the center of the front of the altar and led everyone to carry out the ceremony, on the left was Uncle Xu, behind the two were Chan Ho and Xiao Zhu Xian in Hanbok pulling Xu Yun in, and the two mothers were standing outside. Father Xu is actually a person who respects tradition and rules very much. He is upright and serious on weekdays, because of his life in the army, and more because of his previous father's education. It wasn't until later that Xu Canhao's appearance and family changes suppressed him for too long. Between the ups and downs, the personality has become hearty and well-founded, no longer old-fashioned, and people have become more responsible, which we call secondary growth. (The only man in the family, Xu's mother was under pressure during pregnancy, and she had to take care of her "autistic" son.) If there are difficulties, you can only bear them silently, and you have to be responsible for playing the role of "bright messenger" in front of your wife, which is a gradual process and a grinding process. )
'Alas, I'm going to kneel for another hour. Xu Canhao knelt on the carpet upright, thinking solemnly. I hope this old man can really bless this family in heaven. Oh, don't blame me for meddling. Listening to Xu's father babbling about his thoughts about the old man, Xu Canhao couldn't help but sigh. The grandfather of the Xu family was also a soldier, but he died on the battlefield during the Korean War. Grandma fled south alone with her four children, and Xu Youzhi's sister and brother also died on the way. My sister died of illness, and my brother was taken away as a Red Party, and there is no news of it. Since then, it has been the mother and son who have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and in order to provide for his younger brother to study, Xu Youzhi returned home to run a noodle restaurant with his mother before graduating from high school. Later, the state encouraged enlistment in the army and implemented the invalids policy, Xu Youzhi resolutely entered the military camp despite his mother's cry, just for a family subsidy of 15,000 won per month and 20 catties of rice noodles, as well as a free school policy, of course, the beneficiary was his younger brother. At that time, the relationship between the North and the South was still very tense, and there were frictions near the 38th parallel, and his mother and younger brother were worried and afraid of him every day. Xu Youzhi learned the news of his mother's death in his fourth year as a soldier, and it was also in that year that he met Luo Bingzhen.
Xu Canhao looked at his father's upright back attentively, listening to him calmly tell the previous story, Uncle Xu was on the side, his shoulders twitched occasionally, and it was very uncomfortable to think about it. It was the first time for him to feel the reality of home so deeply, with many memories and touches, and quietly rubbed his sour eyes and glanced at the two children next to him. Xiao Zhuxian was still sitting upright, but Xiao Yunzai fell asleep with his head down. 'yes, I'm forty-three this year. The past is gone, and now it's what I have! Now I have a lot of opportunities, as long as I do it, what is not satisfied. Xu Canhao took a deep breath, straightened his back, and his mind became much more respectful.
It's a cold spring in Seoul at the beginning of April, and there are still sporadic ice edges on the branches of the trees in the morning, but even that can't stop the beautiful city from being green and enchanting. Xu Canhao took the bus to S.M Company early in the morning, he hadn't been there since the start of school, and he was going to blackmail a few people. The autographed poster and other things he took last time made him taste the sweetness, he made money and was praised by others, how can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't do such a good thing a few times? When he thought of so many people asking for himself and worshiping him, Xu Canhao couldn't help but snickered (if it doesn't sound good, it's called Dese).
Xu Canhao now enjoys this kind of trance of familiar things, both strange and familiar, sometimes a little more nostalgic, sometimes a little more feeling. Just like sitting on the bus now, the window is open a little slit, and the cold wind stimulates his head, and the feeling at that moment makes him seem to see the scene of riding the bus in the previous life. When he returned to his hometown, he was full of happiness and security, and he was lost, and he only wished that time would stop forever at this moment and he would sit down forever.
When I came to the company, I said hello to the security guard and the front desk, and walked straight to the practice room of HOT. He slammed open the door and froze. Inside was a group of children who didn't know each other listening to the teacher's class, and a group of people were staring curiously at Xu Canhao, who was neither advancing nor retreating. The teacher was familiar, and Xu Canhao bowed to him awkwardly and apologized, explaining the reason. The teacher told him that the hot practice room had been moved upstairs, and Cui Shengxi and the others also decided to move there with their debut this year. When Xu Canhao heard this, he thanked him and left.
"Whew" out of the door, Xu Canhao breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the new trainees inside, Xu Canhao shook his head, "How many dreaming children! The most intuitive impact of HOT's instant success is that S.M, which used to be full of people, now has rice gathering at the gate every day. In the draft some time ago, many people wanted to see hot, or were lucky enough to enter the company and live under the same roof as hot, with such an idea, resulting in nearly 10,000 people being eliminated in the first round of the audition. For the performance of incomplete five tones, stiff limbs, grandstanding, etc., such a huge cluster appeared, and Li Xiuman, who couldn't bear it, stopped going the next day and became the shopkeeper.
Before he knew it, Xu Canhao had already walked to the door of the room on the first floor. A star-studded poster was posted on the door, announcing ownership of the room. This time, Xu Canhao had a little more heart, gently pushed open the door, glanced at it, and saw that there was also a class inside, so he closed the door. When I walked to the practice room next door, I saw that the door was not closed tightly, and peeked in with my probe. 'Speechless, when is this company still in the morning. Xu Canhao pursed his mouth, took the door, and stood at the door and thought depressedly. It seems that Cui Shengxi and the others are really about to make their debut, and the treatment is much better. Tsk, there was heating, and there was a water dispenser. Hehe, you don't have to wrap it into zongzi in the future, it's fragrant! Xu Canhao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xu Canhao had nowhere to go for a while, so he walked to the end of the corridor, pushed open the door of the safe passage, and found that there was an alley outside. 'The legendary backdoor? Xu Canhao poked his head out and looked out.
"Bang"
"Ouch!" Xu Canhao was sadly urged to execute Carmen, covered his face and retreated and squatted on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, senior. Are you alright? Xu Canhao covered half of his face, looked at the boy in front of him who kept bowing, and didn't make a sound. No matter how generous he is, he is inexplicably and defenselessly like this, and anyone has a little resentment in his heart, not to mention that Xu Canhao is used to playing a child and seeing the world with such a heart and eyes.
The boy with long hair nervously apologized, wanting to reach out to see Xu Canhao's injury, but he noticed that something was wrong, so he withdrew his hand and squatted next to Xu Canhao, at a loss. Xu Canhao tilted his head to look at this person, the old-fashioned hairstyle may have been running in a hurry, and his hair was messy. The dress on his body is also Xu Canhao's usual cookie-cutter, wide T-shirt and fat pants. When it didn't hurt so much, Xu Canhao slowly stood up and said, "It's okay, it seems that you're late, straighten your hair, hurry up." After saying that, he ignored the boy who stared at him in a daze, pushed the door and went out. When the boy saw that he was leaving, he quickly got up and saluted and thanked him. Looking at the door that had been closed, he remembered that he had been late for a long time, and hurried downstairs.
Xu Canhao walked around the company, ready to buy some snacks, but couldn't find a stall. So I went to a nearby convenience store, bought drinks and snacks, and slipped a big bag back to the office. When he came to the practice room of HOT again, and saw that the vocal teacher who taught them was gone, Xu Canhao got in, divided the things out and put them on the floor, and sat down against the wall. Looking at Wen Xijun and the others who were practicing dance seriously, he couldn't help but sigh at how many people had changed.
Xu Canhao, who calmed down, soon entered a state of selflessness, thinking about various things without bounds. Li Xiuman has repeatedly talked to himself about being an artist, but now he has no idea at all. At the age of 12, I have to stay up for a few years before I can get out, not to mention the training of tired people during this period, and I came out to be a pure artist? No, what I want is to be able to live comfortably and stress-free, to live freely as I want, not to be tired and tired to show others, and to be bound by too many rules and regulations. America is my ideal country, and where I can grab great wealth and have more opportunities. Therefore, for me, learning things should only fill the spirit, wealth is a must, and living a wonderful and chic life is the most important thing. Now it seems that my sister and I are not very difficult to dream, as long as we work hard. Xu Canhao has always made a clear distinction between his former home and the present, and he recorded every memory and dream of himself in his diary, so as not to let himself forget the day. Thinking of Xiao Zhuxian's coquettish appearance in the morning, he couldn't help laughing. She's a lot like her own sister, well, from the previous life. When it is quiet, it looks like an angel quietly, which makes people feel good just looking at it from a distance, pure and pitiful. When you're coquettish.,It's cute.,Sometimes it's helpless.,It's completely the image in the animation.,At this time, I can't bear to refuse anything.。 Thinking of Xiao Zhuxian's meaty appearance, Xu Canhao smiled stupidly again.
"Hey, look, we're a fool in the practice room." Wen Xijun rubbed and pulled his two hands, kept playing with Xu Canhao's immature face, pretending to be distressed, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Is it fun?" Xu Canhao had a cold face, staring at Wen Xijun, who had a big disc face, but was covered by long bangs on both sides. "Hyong, can you..."Xu Canhao braked in time and changed his cold tone, "Can you give my brother a few more autographs?" After speaking, he threw a few winks.
"Yikes! Ah, really. You, are you meant to be that?! Completely speechless. Just know that you are not idle and courteous, are you when we are ATMs? How could I know someone like you, ah, qinjiaxi! Wen Xijun crossed his waist angrily, angrily scolded Xu Canhao, who was sitting on the ground, and rolled his eyes from time to time, revealing big white eyeballs.
"hyong~ I'm here to help you win over fans, close to the people, close to the people, do you understand!" Xu Chanhao argued loudly, opened a bottle of drink, and handed it to Moon Hee-jun diligently.
Wen Xijun was powerless to argue with this cheeky child, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, what about the other children? "Yikes! You guys! My brother hasn't started yet... Ah, leave me some! Go away, my chocolate. Wen Xijun quickly pushed away several people sitting around the snack pile, and one person occupied a large area of territory.
The wording that Xu Canhao had prepared was like a punch into the cotton ball, and he stared at the five people who were rushing to eat angrily. "Don't you skip breakfast every day? Eh Yixi, what a beggar, beggar! “
"Well, ahem, you, you're using our money to buy things, do you think you're qualified to say something like that?! Stinky boy! Tony wrapped a handful of seaweed and rice grains in his mouth, and vaguely accused Seo Chanhao, who despised everyone on the side.
"Let's swallow it first, eh, Idol, idol." Seo Chan-ho pointed to the rice grains that fell out of Tony's mouth in disgust. Then, quietly, he took out a few posters and CDs from his school bag and approached a few people who were eating and drinking. "Well, if you're full, sign and pay for these. Customer nim~~" Xu Canhao played the role of a restaurant waiter, handing out a few things that needed to be signed to several people, deliberately squinting his eyes and pretending to smile like that, shamefully selling cuteness to flatter.
"I'm done, please use it slowly." Lee Jae-won folded his hands and bowed to the food, got up and didn't look at Xu Chan-ho and turned to practice (South Korea, like Japan, respects and cherishes food very much).
"I'm ready too, Kansang Amida." x4。 The other four also wiped their mouths and got up to practice.
"Ah~~hyongnim (the word nim is the end honorific, honorific title) ~~~" Xu Canhao shouted unwillingly, kicked his legs on the ground, and saw that a few people were still unmoved, so he simply lay on the ground and played in circles. "Eh, a bunch of ungrateful guys. I am so diligent in delivering things to you and writing songs for you. Whining... The child paper that no one wants is really pitiful~~" Xu Canhao didn't blush at all about his behavior, a man in his forties was lying on the ground and playing like a child, childlike? It's in nature.
"Yo, whose child is this, let my sister see, who is so pitiful." Xu Canhao was stunned when he heard the female voice, stopped moving, and turned his head to see Cui Shengxi tiptoeing over, his hands forming claws. Immediately got up and quickly took the plastic bag beside them, which contained snacks for them. He said, "Please smile." ”
"Poof~ You're a scoundrel. It's time to do variety shows! Cui Shengxi couldn't hold back his laughter, and gently patted Xu Canhao's forehead bangs with his hand. Wuli Canhao is really good, every time he comes to bring food to his hot brothers, he comes to us again, "Ah~~" I don't know when Cui Shengxi's hand slipped to Xu Canhao's soft underbelly and twisted violently.
"Ahh ~~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."Xu Can jumped up vigorously, hugged his waist, and screamed miserably.
"Hehe, Sheng Xi, you can stop this kid." Moon Hee-jun walked over and said to Choi Sung-hee.
"Where, brother, you've won the prize." Cui Shengxi bowed to him very ladylike and said modestly.
A few people played around again, and after Xu Canhao got the signature, he was ready to leave, so he didn't want to disturb them practicing anymore. When leaving, Wen Xijun said when he would get together again and introduce a few juniors to him, and he heard that his talent was very good. Xu Canhao agreed to come down and went back, the hard days of the third year of high school were still waiting for him.
